What is this?

Two hikers on their way to a remote lake ended up getting more than they bargained for when they became stranded on a steep rock face on Mount Seymour this evening.

North Shore Rescue got a call from RCMP at roughly 6 p.m. regarding a couple in their early 30s being too scared to move off of Pump Peak,which is the first summit. Luckily, NSR had an experienced member of their team in the area who was able to arrive at the scene in minutes and keep the couple calm.

“It was a case where they got in over their head,” NSR manager Douglas Pope said.
